Abstract: This personal essay explores the creative and intellectual partnership between Monique Wittig and Sande Zeig, from their meeting in Paris to their years in California. It traces how their collaborations—including Brouillon pour un dictionnaire des amantes —emerged alongside a deep connection to landscapes, from French gardens to redwood forests. Chronicling Wittig’s intellectual legacy in the U.S., the essay highlights how her theoretical work evolved alongside a profound engagement with natural environments, revealing understudied dimensions of her writing process and materialist feminism. This essay was drawn from papers or introductions given at the conference on Monique Wittig at UC–Berkeley and at the Inauguration of the Monique Wittig Garden in Paris.
